The Wii U is a failure from the sales perspective. It is a failure because of what it hasn't done yet. The XB1 is a failure as well. It is failing because of what it can't do. That's the biggest difference, and only one of those is, relatively, easily corrected.

Well, if that's true, I don't see why people would call Wii U a failure.

Honestly its the bandwagon cool thing to do. So people will do it lol

They are both struggling, no need to sugar coat it.

You never fail until you stop trying... Albert Einstein 

I personally think the Wii U is a success in my book. It's given me great games to justify my purchase of it, promised me more of exactly what I want from it, and can't be found better elsewhere.

It can't be denied that it has been a failure from the sales point of view though. That's why it's exciting to see it putting up numbers that would usually be called sub par, because it means it's improving. It's a good thing.

They are both doing ok atm. Lots of room for improvement though.

Right now sales wise both are "meh"

Well, reason why PS4 is doing better is because its overhyped, thats what I think. People buy it because the "trend".

Sales wise they're failing but the 360 at the same point in time as the Wii U was around 10m so who knows. They could both end up selling over 50 million but idk it's not VERY possible. They both need to play their cards right and MAYBE it will happen. But software wise at least.. Wii U has gave me a lot of games. I own 17 games.
